Network administrators do not have the advantage of configuring firewalls and routers on networks they do not control .
However , the need to apply a mandatory network security stack to the connections still exists .
To make things worse , the source IP Address of traffic originating from untrusted , remote networks is random and anonymous making it difficult to access restricted cloud application resources to only trusted IP sources .
The iboss platform provides a consistent network security stack that is applied to users , regardless of their location , including trusted government operated networks and untrusted remote networks .
All traffic originating from users first traverses the iboss cloud platform before making it to its final destination , including public cloud destinations and other destinations like Microsoft Office 365 .
And because the iboss platform is a SASE platform that is built on containerization , the source IP Address that is visible to the destination is always dedicated to the government agency .
This means that even if a user is working from a remote network , such as their home , when the network traffic makes it to the application , such as Microsoft Office 365 , all the source IP Address will see is that of the government agency .
This has major advantages for government agencies which are running comply to connect initiatives .
